Hi Matt,
Thanks for explaining. I didn't realize all of the differences between what
you and Zack had done. You mention that the instructions say to install
xorg-server. Even so, it is not necessary if you have xQuartz installed.
Hopefully this can at least save some people 8 hours!

Hi Matt,
I am just guessing here, but Zack and Manuel both mention installing XQuartz, whereas you mention installing xorg-server. While Demeter should work with either, perhaps on the new OS there is a problem installing Demeter with xorg-server and one has to go with xQuartz.
I do have XQuartz installed, from before starting to build MacPorts. The installation instructions for demeter say to install xorg-server.
Have you tried installing xQuartz or following Zack's instructions
exactly?
Depends on what "exactly" means. ;). I did not "migrate", I built MacPorts from scratch, after completely erasing any trace of MacPorts as described in their own uninstalling description. This was my second attempt at a completely fresh install on El Capitan, and I've installed Demeter with MacPorts on several machines using previous OS / MacPorts / Demeter versions. Something is definitely broken.
That is installing xQuartz and not installing xorg-server at all?
The problem I see is not related to X. It's that Perl's PDL does not compile with GSL. I submitted a ticket about this to the MacPorts site.
